Down on the Theatre.

At the meeting of the South Carolinal
Methodist Conference at Spartapburg, onl
Monday, the following resolutions werel
adopted declaring the position of the|
Methodist Church in regard to worldly
amusements":
Resolved, l. That the attitude of the
Conference is in harmony with the views
so often expressed by the chief pastors
of our church.in their pastoral addresses,
that an attendance upon the theatre OF,
circus, or any professional or amateur
dramatic or impersonating exhibition, Isl
inconsistent with the obligations of d
Christian profession to "renounce the|
world, the flesh and the devil"
2. That we have been greatly gratifeS|
at the action of the official board
McKendree church, Nashville, Tenn
in pledging their support to the ministrj
in maintaining our old landmarks on the.
subject.
8. That we appeal to the laity of the
church in our conference to prove their
loyalty to pure and spiritual religion by.
discouraging in every way such dramatic
exhibitions. 81
4. That we will discountenance and
discourage a resort to all questionable
modes of raising money for church put-.
poses by other means than a straightfor.!
ward and honest appeal to the sense o.
religious obligation. &
5. That we regard card playing, throw
ing OF dice, attendance on balls and horse
racing as prohibited by the rules of our
church, and we will endesror with all
kindness, but firmness, to root out suct
evils where they may be found.

A Jimson Weed Remedy.

Be very careful, writes E. E. Me-, of
Louisiana, to the Cultivator farmers, how
you destroy weeds and other socalled
pests. To show you how careful you
ought to be, will give you an idea of
the virtues of common weed, which,
until last week, I thought an unmitigated
nuisance. The weed is no other than the
common jimson weed Jamestown.
Nothing can be given horse that will
so speedily regulate and allay all urinary
distractions and inflammation as this
seed. The seed are powerful Alternative.
They are cathartic, diaphoretic aud diure-
tic. They act upon the stomach and
bowels, producing healthy condition Of
those organs. The seed should be gath
cred in October and November II should
say gather the seed in September just as
the seed pods burst and laid up for future
use.
For dose one to two ounces or table
spoonfuls every second or third day,
according to severity of case, until four
doses have been given. After lapse Of a
few days repeat. In extreme cases a
dose may be given every day. This
remedy is unsurpassed in cases of big.
head, glanders, farcy, distemper, hide
bound, stih-complaint and chronic foun'
der. DR.. Stewart rightly calls these
seed "the great horse medicine" An
old darkey told me that that the leaves o1
this weed would cure any case of sore
back. Whether thisis SO or not, I cannot
say, but we have the word of a veterinary
surgeon for the seed.-At1an'o, Ga.

An Escaped Hyena Causes Trouble.

ADMISSION, Ala, December 6.-some
weeks ago, during the visit of Sell
Brothers. Circus here, byena escaped
from its keepers and is now at large near
this city, terrorizing the country people.
a farmer who lives about five miles
north of this city says that several even
ipgs ago, while neighbor and his family
were seated around the supper table,
the animal rushed through the open door
and bounded upon the table, creating a
panic in the household. The beast has
attacked many dogs and other animals.
A large band of men went out to hunt it
Saturday night, but it eluded them.

Often men of this stamp, have very
limited stock of knowledge, and are kept
away from the school-rooms that need
them; if circumstances would permit
them to get the required stock they
would be glad to teach. We have nour-
ished the idea that the man of much
knowledge was the one who could do
good service as teacher. But this con-
ception has proved false one. Knowl'
edge is needed by the teacher, for that
is the means he will use to carry his
pupils from one step to another.
I have never known successful
teacher who was not more or less stu
dent himself. The answer to the conun-
drum proposed by an English peasant,
"Why is guide.post like parson 2"
we'll describes multitudes of teachers :
they point the way but do not travel it.
There are, therefore, teachers and imita-
tions of teachers. The reason so few
remain as teachers is not so much on
account of the poor pay as the feeling
they have that, after all, they are not
doing the fair thing by the pupils and by
themselves.
Thousands who are teachers would be
-hetter ones If thew knew how. They
have decent knowledge of the rudi-
ments they are teacbing, they keep order,
they are thorough, and yet they know
something is left out. I have in mind q
teacher who rose from one position to
another because she kept such good
order; she became principal ofa primary
school, and then, to the surprise of her
friends, took a position as stenogra-
pher. 1T was not satisfied" she ex-.
planned: "the children seemed to 60.
home every day just as glad as they
could be to get away from me-" This is
pathetic enough; she was conscientious.
All these things point out that educa>
ton, its art, Its principles, must be
studied, over and over; the teacher must
study every spare moment until he
touches bottom. He will discern at last
there is a body of truth on which he can
place his feet and feel that he is secure.
- Z -. !. ~ 49,. :
Yes, the teacher must be student; he
must aim to know his own work; not
necessarily more about history, or pen
manship, but more about education.
Those then are teachers who study edu.
cation and can employ appropriate means
to elevate young humanity. The whole
race is being elevated by means of teach.
ing-not necessarily the teaching of the
school.room. The elevation prepared by
the teacher is specific, but is elevation
all the same.

Every day adds to our conviction that
the great need of our schools is better
lecdss,s: We have material, good mate
Hal, bn. It needs developing. In our
conception Of the idea of Teachers
Library, ne had in view the improve.
;ment Of the quality Of our teachers.
How long must the work Of warping
human minds be carried on for the want
of trained teachers O, for a general
waking up on this subject! o, for the
time when teaching shall become a
profession, and when men and women
.shals prepare themselves for that great
work There are difficulties in the way
.of making better teachers, but the work
can be done. Our teachers need to read,
to; study, to taiak. Let our Teachers
Library be completed, and let our teach
ems get to work in real earnest. Every
7day there are silent, but painful argu-
ments il favor Of more painstaking labor
in the effort to build human character.
The teacher, whether competent or in
competent, is a character builder-he
builds we'll, or he builds badly. How is
tin onr county. How isitin our village
schools ? We have often had occasion
to Say that something more than q
knowledge of geography, arithmetic,
grammar and history is necessary to
make one a true teacher. We repeat
that the teacher must be student of
human nature, he must know something
of the material he would work, he must
have correct idea Of the real meaning
sof the word, 9 ducate.

An Unhappy Editor.

HAMMOND, md, Dec. lO.-A number
of young women of this place claim to
have been slandered by Editor Towle, Of
the Echo, of this place. The girls
replied in kind, publishing an article in
another paper scoring the editor. Yes.
terday seven of the girls met Towlc in
the street, and, throwing red pepper in
his face, three attacked him with COW.
hides. The editor begged for mercy and
then threatened to shoot, but the girls
only piled the whips faster. Towle
finally escaped.

WHO ARE TEACHERS :?

While sojonrning in pleasant village
in the central part of New York State, I
often heard the teacher of the school
spoken Of, and always in terms ofrespect.
In fact, I became quite anxious to behold
the person that had the power to win, be
evidently lad, the admiration of both
young and old. One evening I saw a
gentleman at q street corner surrounded
by, q dozen boys. all eagerly talking.
"And, Oh, Mr.. G you should have
been in the boat with u.s." said one:
'sMr. c." I said to myself, "why
: that is the teacher I hear spoken of so
: much"
Ipaused, aud introduced myself. He
immediately begged the boys to excuse
him q, moment.
"You see" he said, "my young friends
have been off on stroll, and they can
not wait to tell their adventures till
morning"
After few moments of conversation,
went on my way, revolving in my
mind, "What sort of man can this be
that the boys love him? 2"
Ivisited the school house, and found
the building very plain one, but it was
filled with an earnest group of children.
They scarcely noticed my entrance. SO
busy were they in the work before them.
There was busy hum; sense of en-
joyment that was most agreeable.
r. The visit was often repeated, for the
man and his work were an enigma.
Most teachers had seen were not agree.
able men, they seemed to be cramped in
thought they made life disagreeable in
school and out. This man had a power
in him that took hold of his pupils and
lifted them on to higher levels of thought
and action.
Since then, I have thought of this
subject good deal and believe that only
men Of CHS stamp can be teachers, others
maybe policemen or drill-masters, but
only he who lifts his pupils step by step
to higher planes of thought, can really
be termed teacher. And it is such that
the world wants in the school rooms !;
such have indelible marks.

200 or more are often required to the
bus6el. Roughly, we would have 4G
rows on an acre with 60 stalks to the
row. This would give US 3,l74 ears to
The acre or 31l bushels Of corn. Take
off 10 ears to the row for skips and bar
rem stalks, 460 ears, and We should have
81 bushels to the acre. We doubt if the
lowlands in this county average above
Is bushels to the acre. 1t takes from
four to ten nubbins to make a good ear
in quantity and then the quality is infe.
rior. The want of distance is, in our
opinion, the leak.
We told a tenant of ours in the spring,
too late to remedy the evil, he would lose
from so to rs bushels of corn by having
planted too close. By reason Of the dry
July we are satisfied the loss was 100
bushels. Distance is great help in
drought. The best evidence of loss from
want of distance in corn is furnished by
close inspection OF our cribs. Put two
hundred bushels of corn in crib unas-
sorted, and though grown on fair average
land, you will find the number of ears,
so called, should have measured out
three, four or FIVE hundred bushels,
dependent on the land and distance
given the plant. The counting process
would be tedious, but, in measuring.
three or five tubs could be counted at a
venture and the average taken.
In the matter of wheat Mr.. Brandt
sows the bearded variety, using three
pecks 10 the acre on manured land. In
this way he made II bushels of wheat
from four acres, then planting it in corn
and peas made from same land rs hush.
els of corn and 244 bushels of peas,
besides fodder, sbucks, &c. AS we stated
last week he made 5000 pounds of lint
cotton from seven acres, worth $27O,
using no guano, and giving under the
rule of one.third 800 for rent of seven
acres, or SIS an acre per year from land
which cost So per acre.
The experience of such man is worth
reading and thinking about, and as he
lives so near us, ne propose, by his inyi.
tation, to see his crop and mode of cul-
ture next year. In fattening hogs he
says he keeps them we'll bedded, chang
ing the litter often and feeds them in a
clean trough. He has been successful in
this line too, as also in the growth of
smaller crops of rice, sorghum, tobacco,
&c, needed in a family and costing
good deal when bought from stores.

The Origin Of Great Corporations.

machinery ls now recognized as assem-
.tial to cheap production. Nobody can
produce effectively and economically
without it, and what was formerly known
as domestic manufacture is now almost
obsolete. But machinery is one of the
most extensive purchases and its use re-
quires an amount of capital far beyond
the ordinary individual to furnish. There
are veryefew men in the world possessed
of an amountof wealth sufficient to in.
dividually construct and own an extern
sive line Of railway or telegraph, a first
class steamship, or great factory. 1t is
also to be remembered that for carrying
on production by the most modern and
effective methods, large capital is needed,
not only for machinery, but also, for
purchasing and carrying OF extensive
stocks Of crude material and finished
products. Sugar can now. be, and gener-
ally is refined at q profit of. aineighth of
a cent pound, and sometimes as low
as sixteenth or in other words, frcm
eight to sixteen pounds Of raw sugar
must now be treated in refining in order
to,make cent; from eight hundred to
sixteen hundred pounds to make dollar,
from eighty thousand to one hundred and
sixty thousand pounds to make hun.
dred dollars, and SO on. The mere capi.
tai requisite for providing and carrying
the raw material necessary for the sue.
cessful prosecution of this business,
apart from all other conditions, places
it, therefore, of necessity, beyond the
reach of an ordinary capitalist or pro.
ducef. It has been before stated that i'll
the manufacture of jewelry by machine
ry, one boy can make up nine thousand
sleeve buttons per day; four girls, also,
working by modern methods, can put
together in the same time eight thousand
collar buttons. But to run an establish
ment with such facilities the manufac.
turer must keep constantly in stock thirty
thousand dollars worth of cut ornamental
stones, and a stock of cuff buttons that
represents nine thousand different designs
and patterns. Hence from such condi-
tions have grown up great corporations of
stock companies, which are only forms of
associated capital organized for effec.
tive use and protection. They are
regarded to some extent as evils; but
they are necessary, as there is.appareptly
no other way in which tie wcrk o: pro-
duction and distribution, in accordance
with the requirements of the age, can be
prosecuted. The rapidity, however, with
which such combinations of capital are
organizing for the purpose of promoting
industrial aud commercial undertakings
on scale heretofore wholly unprecedent.
ed, and the tendency they have crystalize
into something far more complex than
what has been familiar 10 the public as
corporations with the impressive names of
syndicates, trusts, etc., also constitute
one of the remarkable features of modern
business methods.
